Each year our campers continue to exceed our expectations and obtain success on the local, state and national levels. We are even more excited to hear back on how our camp positively influenced their success. If you have a dedicated showman striving to reach the top in the showring, this is your chance to learn how consistency counts and what's worked for our family to accomplish our goals and reach the backdrop year after year.

About our Camp
In 2009, we re-established a lamb camp to provide an opportunity for showmen across the country to learn techniques from some of the best in the business. Banbury’s Building the Best Lamb Camp is designed to develop the all-around showman, encompassing not only extensive showmanship lessons, but sessions on feed and nutrition, veterinary care and animal health, skillathon practice, tour of our farm, fitting, exercise programs, meat evaluation and more!

In the first four years of camp, we’ve welcomed attendees from Arkansas, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

With each group of kids we work with, we continue to be amazed by their vast improvement from start to finish at the camp. This advancement continues throughout the show season as campers follow-up with their success.

Some of the feedback we’ve received:

I just wanted to thank you for all the information I learned at your camp! I attended your camp in 2010 and since then my showmanship skills have improved extremely. This year I won my showmanship class at the Michigan Livestock Expo and have won or been in the top at all the jackpots and at my county fair. I have also had breeders approach me about showing their lambs, which is becoming an awesome experience for me. I am hopefully sending a few kids down to your camp this spring from my county. Thanks again! –Liz, Michigan

Thank you for providing such a GREAT lamb camp! I learned LOTS of information about lambs and showmanship! Everybody was so nice and friendly! I made so many great friends! Please forward this to Barb,Liz, and all the other helpers! –Alli, Ohio

Thank you for all the preparation and work you all put into this weekend. It was one of the most organized, most thorough show camp that I have seen. My boys came away with more knowledge and excitement about this years show season. They are already talking about next year and my youngest son is asking to go next year as well.
I especially appreciated the farm visit to see your training exercise and feeding program. –Cary, Ohio

Barb, just wanted to update you on Lindsey. She had Champion Market Lamb, first and second in class and second in Skillathon. She did so good! Thanks again for your camp. See you in the spring! –Wendy, Ohio

Nick practiced what he learned at camp and it paid off at our fair this year. It was his first time in "the drive." Judge commented that he was bracing his sheep better than others and I know that's because of how much you guys drilled showmanship and bracing in March, so we were tickled with 200+ lambs in the show that he did that well in the fitting/showmanship and market class. Thanks again, I know Nick wants to come again next year to lamb camp. –Michelle, Maryland

Jamie, I just wanted to let you know how I did at the fair. Thanks for all of the help! Camp helped me accomplish these goals and I’m looking forward to 2011 lamb camp! –Ben, Ohio

I wanted to thank your family for having camp this year. Johnny showed with a confidence that I have never seen him have before and I know that it was from the instruction that he got from you guys at camp! [Winning the fair] was a pretty cool way to finish out his 4-H career!! –Tami, Ohio

Thanks for all of your help at the camp with the boys, it’s been great to see them improve and reach their goals they set. See you in Louisville! –Brenda, Ohio

I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful weekend. I thought there was a wonderful blend of information shared. Thanks again for everything! We had a wonderful time and learned so much. We will see you at the OCLA jackpot shows. –Gail, Ohio
